Here’s to new beginnings.. Letting go of perfec

Incense relaxation 😌
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m someone that reacts to scents very heavily.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Sometimes the synthetic scents of candles can really trigger me and give me headaches but I do love filling my appartment with amazing scents.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I discovered incense when I was a teenager and visited Camden in London. All the small market streets filled with busy stalls and smelling of different asian cuisines and incense burning.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Scents that really relax me are patchouli, jasmine, ylang ylang, white musk.. but I also have some fun mixes.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I love cleaning the appartment, putting on some music and then burning an incense stick to fill the room 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What’s your favorite relaxing pass time? How do you create cosiness in your home?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
PS: if you’re wondering about the Boeddha figure, I’ve looked into the specific meaning of the hand placement before buying it as well as the way they should be used in a home. I’m not a practicing buddhist, in fact I was actually baptised as a christian as a baby but that’s a whole other story. But I love learning about cultures and beliefs and figuring out what practices work for me. This Boeddha gives me a reminder to honour my home, relax enough and take care of myself and my surroundings.

Lighting candles without matches 🔥⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hate matches because first of all I’m really bad at lighting them 🙈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Matches also use wood and can obviously only be used once so they are inherently wasteful. They also contain different chemicals that you might not want to have near you on the daily.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always used to buy those long candle lighters but they are made of plastic and refilling them was harder than it seemed (I never actually found a way to refill!).⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After a while of looking and asking around I found this rechargeable electric candle lighter!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It uses a USB to charge and you just press a button to light your candle 🙌🏻 I’m so happy with this invention. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How do you light candles? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

PS: I have an affiliate link for Bol.com on my blog (link in bio) if you’re interested in buying it that way 😚
